Abstract
This article elucidates aspects of the creative imagination: inspiration and how this brief momentary revelation combines previously pondered thoughts, combined with the craft of implementation, to present a meaningful whole in an architectural design process. This imaginative spark or the eureka moment may be the resolution of an idea or the understanding of a perplexing concept. Using Vitruvius’ story of Archimedes as an analogy, this exploration utilizes myth to bring concepts of inspiration to contemporary architecture. Thus, a new understanding of inspiration may assist architects to better utilize this important capacity and potentially unlock the principles that lead to understanding the beginning of design.
